Just wondered if there's another brewers forum out there that i've not found. Our manager left today and its been nearly an hour since someone posted?

When clough the magic dragon closed, as far as I know we were without a forum for a short while until someone put this one together. It's never been as active as the old one - I guessed that Facebook had taken over!

The quality of the posts is decent enough though and personally I feel an affinity with the characters involved... there's certainly some sort of intangible commonality in the way contributors to here approach their love of the game and the club. I'm not on any other sort of social network like Facebook and being part of this forum over the last few months has I guess been my way of giving the online community thing a go and I've found the whole experience really positive (that comment has a 'Burton My Barcelona' tinge to it, apologies in the circumstances!) Any lull in the volume is probably because we've debated the ins and outs of the situation for weeks now - now it's finally done we're drained!

Yep Karl the owner got a bit frustrated by some the in-fighting and decided against supporting it any longer. Which was a shame as it was quite an active forum, with maybe 3 or 4 times as many active posters.

This is true Mikey, there were far more posters on CMTD but comparatively I think there's more squabbling on this forum with fewer members, if that makes sense.
Whilst some forum members might not always agree on certain matters then as long as they've put their posts across sensibly and constructively, why (sometimes) can't other posters respect their points of view, even if they disagree with them? The one thing that unites this board is we all support BAFC and it's somewhere we can discuss the match, what's going on at the club etc and ultimately, we all want the best for the Brewers.

I use several sports forums
The amount of squabbling and fallout on here compared to the others I use is nil
There may be a bit of petty stuff on here from time to time but it's next to nothing in the bigger picture
It's all relative

We are all firmly behind Burton Albion FC on here, we have minor discrepancies occasionally but I think we are an extension of how the club is run and what it stands for in general which in my view is a credit to the forum members.

Friday night is pub night as far as I'm concerned, the Brewers are still there this morning and still manager less, the only difference is I am on here with a well deserved headache .
